Dr Sanjay Kumar Cardiothoracic Cardiac Heart surgeon - Sayta Sai Baba
Puttaparthi: Prominent religious leader Sathya Sai Baba has reportedly suffered liver failure, even as he undergoes treatment for multi-organ dysfunction at a private hospital here.
“Although his vital parameters and indices are near normal, yet the condition of his liver and intermittent episodes of low blood pressure are still a cause of worry,” Dr A N Safaya, Director, Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences, said in a medical bulletin in Puttaparthi on Wednesday.
He also said that the Sai Baba continues to remain on ventilation to help his lungs.
A panel of doctors are monitoring him round-the-clock and giving all the necessary treatment to keep him in a stable state of health, Dr Safaya said.
Sathya Sai Baba, 86, was hospitalised on March 28 following problems related to heart and respiration.
